US President Donald Trump rejected an Iranian plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, according to a report by Le Monde. To justify his decision, he said Iranian leaders were seeking the deal because they were, in his words, 'badly losing'.
Following the rejection, Iran on Sunday held firm on its terms for any possible reopening of the strait, which is strategic for global oil transport, stating it would not back down from its conditions despite the US decision.
The Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for a significant share of global oil exports, is regularly at the center of tensions between Tehran and Washington, with both countries accusing each other of seeking to disrupt or control its use in line with their respective strategic interests.
Neither the White House nor the Iranian authorities provided, according to the report, a precise timeline for a possible resumption of discussions on the issue, leaving the situation in limbo.
